By the method of autopsy in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) who died of acute heart failure we took samples of myocardium from 6 parts of the heart: left and right atrium, left and right ventricle, region of myocardial infarction, and scar of the left ventricle. Simultaneously we conducted histological study of these parts of myocardium. For the control we investigated content of chemical elements in myocardium of healthy victims of traffic accidents. By the method of roentgen fluorescent analysis with the use of synchrotron emission we detected content of 17 chemical elements: 4 macroelements (S, Cl, K, Ca) and 13 microelements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, As, Mo, Hg). It was established that in patients with IHD who had died of acute heart failure content of Ca was elevated 4-8 fold in all parts of the heart. In infarction zone compared with other regions of the heart maximal quantity of Sr, Cr, Hg was contained. These elements can be looked upon as markers of infarction. In myocardium of patients with IHD especially in the zone of infarction elevation of activity of processes of lipid peroxidaton has been noted (calculated activity of malone aldehyde as example).

Iridium is used in commercial light-emitting devices and in photocatalysis but is among the rarest stable chemical elements. Therefore, replacing iridium(III) in photoactive molecular complexes with abundant metals is of great interest. First-row transition metals generally tend to yield poorer luminescence behavior, and it remains difficult to obtain excited states with redox properties that exceed those of noble-metal-based photocatalysts.

Chemical communication between marine bacteria and their algal hosts drives population dynamics and ultimately determines the fate of major biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. To gain deeper insights into this small molecule exchange, we screened niche-specific metabolites as potential modulators of the secondary metabolome of the roseobacter, . Metabolomic analysis led to the identification of a group of cryptic lipids that we have termed roseoceramides.

Photosynthetic microbes have evolved and successfully adapted to the ever-changing environmental conditions in complex microhabitats throughout almost all ecosystems on Earth. In the absence of light, they can sustain their biological functionalities through aerobic respiration, and even in anoxic conditions through anaerobic metabolic activity. For a suspension of photosynthetic microbes in an anaerobic environment, individual cellular motility is directly controlled by its photosynthetic activity, i.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the anxiolytic effect of GB-115 as a tablet form with subchronic oral administration in comparison with phenazepam in nonhuman primates.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on four male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) aged 5.

Background: TRIM28 plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability and establishing imprinting, facilitated by the diversity of KRAB zinc finger proteins. The SUMOylation of TRIM28 is essential for its function and is enhanced in the presence of the KRAB domain. Previously, we demonstrated that Kaiso, another factor capable of interacting with TRIM28, can promote its SUMOylation.
